Daily News for Sunday, November 17, 2013
News of JFK assassination came over MCHS loudspeaker Comments re article 63366 Chris Bennett is right CM hears and encourages JFK memories By Linda Waggener Chris Bennett has a good idea, documenting memories about the day President Kennedy was shot. Clearest in my mind is being surrounded by the absolute silence following the crackling announcement over the loud speaker in our classroom at Metcalfe County High School. Every one of us in the class stared at the speaker near the ceiling on the beige concrete block wall in that silence, shocked at the news. Getting home to Sulphur Well on the bus was a blur. The next thing I remember is looking at the small black and white TV with the footage of the horrible events in Dallas. Daddy had to keep adjusting the antenna and the clearest station was Channel 5 in Nashville, a CBS station with Walter Chronkite telling the unthinkable news.- - Linda Waggener 2013-11-17 21:37:35 | Comments | Printable version
Chris Bennett is right: CM hears, and encourages JFK memories Chris Bennett writes: It might be interesting if you encouraged some of your readers to share a written account of their memories of the Kennedy assassination. It was probably the most memorable events in American history during the last 50 years. By studying our past we can improve our future. Thanks. - Chris BennettThanks, Chris Bennett: We hear you. It has occurred several times during the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination that we should do so. And had many memories of our own. The first thing that came to mind is that tears were not partisan on that occasion, they were American. Yes, we would like to have letters from people with memories of that day, and of their own memories of the Kennedy years. Thanks for reminding us. - ED WAGGENER 2013-11-17 19:09:31 | Comments | Printable version
Happy Tail: Happy hunting? (CM Note: Peg Schaeffer presents her argument - sure to be controversial - against hunting. I'm not a hunter, but Peg's is an argument difficult for me to follow; especially in a society where industrialized production and slaughter of domesticated animals occurs on an unholy, unhealthy, unwholesome scale. But here 'tis; her article follows our standards for civil discourse, which will be a guide for posting a limited number of responses pro and con, which it may ensue. - EW) The next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tail: A Week at Sugarfoot Farm Rescue Posted November 10, 2013 By Peg Schaeffer Personal Commentary of the Writer Hunting season is upon us.

Agrees with Linda and the Amish Mary Ann Brown writes: I agree 100% with Linda and many others, we should not be subjected to butts hanging out, the girls at the top showing themselves. I know that this is America but we should and I mean all ages should dress appropriately when out in public. I am not always looking my best when some people decide to take my picture, I don't even get a chance to smile!

MIKE WATSON: Sunday notes from Adair County History A few Sunday Notes from Adair County, many years ago... By Mike Watson, Adair County Historian "The Faithful Few - Last Sunday was a very disagreeable day, and but few people ventured out from their respected homes. Notwithstanding the fierce winds, and the steady down pour of chilly rain, Rev. J.C. Cook went to Zion and filled his regular appointment. We learn from Bro. Cook that the most attentive listeners to his discourse were Mr. Burton Yates and wife, Mr. Jo Willis, and Mr. Melvin Conover." 15 January 1908, Adair County News. "Welcomed the Pastor - Pastor J.C. Cook preached his first sermon at Gradyville last Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Sallie B. Wilmore, President of the Ladies Missionary Society, welcomed the pastor, and Misses Nell Hindman and Maude Wilmore recited beautifully. Pastor Cook appreciated the welcome extended and in a few words expressed his thanks for the society and pledged his support. In the business meeting which followed the sermon, Mr. W.C. Yates was elected to the office of deacon. 29 January 1908. Compiled by Mike Watson 2013-11-17 06:00:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History

Tom Chaney: Of Crickets and Field Mice and Murder Most Foul Of Writers And Their Books: Of Crickets and Field Mice and Murder Most Foul. Tom says: "finally the pull of home overcomes the pleasure of fame." This column first appeared 16 November 2008. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Not Just a Cake Mix / Duncan Hines By Tom Chaney Of Crickets and Field Mice and Murder Most Foul Several of us were sitting around the big table at the Bookstore last week when we noticed a visitor. A little field mousie stuck his nose out around the soft drink machine and looked up at us as though we had failed to feed him lunch or to invite him to join our conversation. We spoke; he turned up his nose, shrugged his shoulders, flicked his tail and ambled off to where food used to be. Although he (or perhaps, she) was in no way pestiferous, I called the local pest folks and ordered some field mice food -- heavily spiced.
